A day off the sock machine to work on some fair isle.... The new Shetland Wool Week hat pattern has been released, and I've been experimenting...

The first version lacked the necessary contrast, so a couple of colours were changed out for the second version.

Do you fancy a piece of knitwear that is completely unique? Message me to chat about custom knits and commissions :)

It's a stunningly sunny Spring day in Stromness. Alan Shearer 🐑 has been out in the garden spotting daffodils and picking a basket of yarn for our Easter legwarmers 🐣

Here's a Zero-waste success story to shake your tail feathers at for the end the week 😁

Introducing Hennifer Lopez who will be assisting at the Stromness Academy Spring Fair on 29th March 🐔😍

At Bú Knits, we used every scrap of yarn, whether in patchwork scrappy socks, or the yarn ends used as stuffing 🧶

Pattern is Emotional Support Chicken by Annette Corsino.

On International Women's Day, I'd like to put a big shout out to all of the bold and brilliant business owners that I know, and thanks to those who support us.

What a brilliant bunch we had in on Friday!
